Sink repair for Loggerheads homes

Aftercare tips

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Use mild cleaners only
  • Use a heat mat for hair tools
  • Have new chips repaired quickly
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge

Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.

A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

How we handle sink repair in Loggerheads

It’s not just the colour we match, it’s the gloss, since a matt patch on a glossy basin is obvious. We polish each repair to the basin’s shine. We’re frequently asked to fix knocks from hair straighteners and chips around the rim, across antique & period basins, enamelled basins and Belfast and butler sinks.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Period and antique

Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.

Vitreous china

Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.

What we can’t put right

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • Plumbing leaks
  • A crack that leaks right through the basin
  • Widespread crazing

For landlords and businesses

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

If you manage property in Loggerheads, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we will price them together.

Should you replace it?

A basin is normally fixed into a unit or tiled around, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. A repair avoids that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

What you get with us

  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Work done at your home or business

The process

We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. Allow a few hours.

  1. The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
  2. We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
  3. It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
  4. The colour is matched by hand.
  5. The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

What we are called out for in Loggerheads

  • A chipped basin edge
  • Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
  • A chipped vanity basin

How to compare quotes

Can I fix it myself?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
